The “You The Real MVP” (MVP) collection in Memeland is the earliest, smallest, and most expensive.

This collection also experienced incredible gains, ‘mooning’ 26,371% this year. Since then, it has retraced and currently has a floor price of 0.46 ETH according to NFTpricefloor.
Last but not least, Redacted Remilio Babies is a collection of 10,000 neochibi profile-picture NFTs expanding the Milady Maker paradigm with the introduction of young J.I.T. energy and schizophrenic reactionary aesthetics.

How are these Top NFT Projects Surviving?
Finally, there we have it, the 10 top NFT projects that are still surviving the bear market. Why are they surviving? Well, seeing how the value of an NFT is determined strictly by supply and demand, these projects must be doing things that encourage their holders to hold. Clearly, this is something that many other projects are struggling to achieve currently. Moreover, as we continue to go through this bear market, there is likely more pain to come. So, brace yourself, exercise caution, and check back regularly to stay one step ahead.
